Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates sources of thermal discomfort adjacent to windows during winter. An individual's thermal comfort level indoors is largely dictated by the temperature of the air with which their body exchanges heat, as well as the temperature of the surrounding walls that radiate heat. In colder months, windows are the coldest surfaces in a room and can be a source of discomfort. The author begins by establishing the thermal comfort requirement near a cold wall, defining the "air-radiation requirement" for a plane surface element parallel to a wall. They propose that, at about 3 feet from the wall, this temperature must remain above 60.8-62.6°F (16-17°C). They then move on to study ways to address inadequate warmth near glazed openings in any given room, which depend on various factors such as the local climate, average room temperature, location of heat sources, dimensions of openings, glazing type, and presence or absence of curtains. The book concludes with specific recommendations for achieving thermal comfort in this scenario. The author's insights are significant for understanding the thermal environment near cold walls. This book is essential reading for architects, builders, and anyone interested in creating comfortable and energy-efficient indoor spaces.
